Get to know me

Hi! I’m Justin. I’m a freelance Visual Effects Artist for film & television and a Projection Designer for live entertainment.

As an artist at heart I love making things. Though much of my experience is in projection design and visual effects, I am a student of all mediums. I love tools and craftsmanship; both digital and analog. From paint and pens, to sandpaper and software. I believe in experimenting, tinkering, and hard work. It’s also my philosophy that the relationships fostered while making great things can be, without question, a fantastic investment of both time and energy.
